BLOG
Welcome to my weekly car photography blog, to see the rest of my photography blog please visit www.jasondoddphotography.com. My car photography takes me to locations all over the UK and sometimes further afield. The car photography I cover could be for commissions, exhibitions, motor dealers or shows and events around the UK, 2010 also sees me going on a four day super car event across Europe with The Full Monte charity (in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust), this takes place during the end of August and September. Each week I will be uploading a snapshot of my last seven days which I hope will give you a bit of an insight into what I do and how I capture those all important photos. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and would welcome your feedback or comments.
